He is playing against 3rd teamers, but yes looking good.

 

I like Sam.

 

What have you liked so far? What needs to improving? Btw, the Vikes are likely to cut a WR. We have a surplus. Jalen Nailor looks really good but we may not have space for him. I think some team will poach him from our practice squad.

I said nothing about helping Pryor. I am talking about ways a oline schemes and uses blocks. They aren’t doing that in preseason.

Studmuffin if anything you would increase your chipping and sliding and doing anything you could to protect your vet starting QB wouldn’t you?  Your saying manangement is intentionally limiting o line scheme and exposing Ryan to more danger than they will when the season starts?  That’s insane if that’s what they are doing.

 

Irsay should fire them all then.  Incinerate them all.

He is just making plays, extending them woth his legs. 

 

He holds on to it to long some times and fades deep in the backfield.

 

We will take Jefferson if you need to get rid of a WR. Lol

 

 

5th turnover.

 

Local Hamilton County guy, Weatherford with the INT.

No way we keep 3 QBs in my opinion.

 

I guess I could see a chance of Foles getting traded to QB needy team maybe? 

 

Sam did look good though. Outside running backwards.

 

   Clearly Sam sees himself running like Willie Mays Hayes.

  Say Hey Sam, it just ain't so!  :atroll:

I wonder he learnt that from Mr. Wentz :lol:

Is it a horse collar when tackling from the front? I thought it only was if from behind

Me too.  But I can’t really recall seeing it done from the front,  must just be generic pulling him down withr the collar.

I think that's more to do with his height than anything.

Horsecollar is all about where you're grabbing, not where you're standing in relation to the player you're bringing down.

Price is a guy JT said might be the fastest (not sure if he meant on the team or just the RB room)

Our RBs are pretty fast, so either way that's a big statement.

 

Was just telling my son about what JT said about him.

Yeah, but it still isn't a good thing. Whatever the reason may be.?

    • He has this 3/4 release point, super fast release, throwing at an upward angle, what I would call a 100mph fastball.  I can't tell that he learned much having a year + in the system, and I sure can't tell that our coaching staff has done anything to improve his throwing style and accuracy.  It has to be in his head that he is so bad at hitting very open pass catchers somewhere between belt high and their numbers.  All he has between his ears is smoking, rising fastballs.   Hey Coaching Dummies, Make him start by holding the ball 6 or so inches higher, get that elbow up off his side, and make him start his throwing motion from closer to the top of his shoulder.   It will slightly slow his super quick release which causes some eraticism, and should flatten out the arc, bring the ball down. How hard is this?      I preached that we should look back on how he looked the last 1/3 of the season. Those games will give us some truth to what his ceiling Might be.  For me, it's painful to watch him throw the ball 6' feet over someone's head then watch him walk off the field with that dazed look. It gives me this instant hopeless empty feeling.   Please, somebody fix him starting Now!!!      
    • Na, just waiting till the right time to open up the playbook and release the beast.
    • If they had lost this game, then I think his seat would start warming up. And if this team did go 3-14, then yes, I don't think his job is safe. It shouldn't be.   But something like 5-7 wins, I don't see it happening. We are most likely looking at Ballard through 2025, probably a similar timeline for AR too.
    • Ebukam and Buck were everything we had at pass rush last season.   Credit to Partridge. Paye also put in a lot of effort this offseason and it's shown.
    • This is exactly right. In the offseason, every coach (Steichen, Turner, Cooter, AR's personal QB coach) talked about what he has been working on to refine his throwing motion. And all of the improvements he has made.   And so far, he doesn't look improved at all. If anything, he's gotten a bit worse. He throws those side-arm passes, sails passes, doesn't show much touch, etc.   I know it's his 7th game, but he's had NFL coaching for two years now, so some improvement in this area is a reasonable expectation. So is it coaching OR is is the player?    And if it's the player, then short of a Josh Allen-like transformation, not sure what they can do.
